22-5 Traffic

Water Supply Plan - Johnston

 22-5 Under the water plan, is it correct that water replenish rate after an oil fired operation event is 11 trucks per day, or 22 trips to and from the site? Is this a guarantee? Please explain.


RESPONSE 22-5

Yes, the traffic impact analysis, Appendix E of the Water Supply Plan assumes that approximately 11 trucks per day will access CREC to replenish the water tanks. This is not a guarantee, but it is a reasonably conservative estimate of the number of trucks per day that are expected.  It is difficult to guarantee because there could be weather events or unexpected disruptions that could cause the number of trucks during one day to be less and correspondingly the number could be more on the following day.
